What to Expect

You arrive in Yufuin, a town in Oita Prefecture known primarily as a hot spring resort destination. While Yufuin draws visitors for its onsen culture, its local bar scene offers a quieter, more intimate side of the town that most tourists never see. As your guide meets you at the starting point, you step away from the well-worn tourist paths and into the side streets and drinking areas where locals actually spend their evenings.
Your guide leads you on foot to three separate bars, each listed on Tabelog and priced within a local budget. At each stop, you settle in, order drinks, and take in the atmosphere of a different venue. The bars sit within walking distance of one another, so the evening moves at an easy pace — you finish at one spot, step back outside, and follow your guide a short distance to the next. Additional food and drinks at each venue are ordered and paid for directly on the spot.
By the third bar, you will have moved through three distinct corners of Yufuin’s nightlife, each with its own character. The experience gives you direct access to the kind of local drinking culture that exists alongside — but apart from — the town’s resort identity. You close out the night having visited venues you can return to independently, with a clearer sense of where locals in Yufuin actually go after dark.
